Carpenter.] WasmixoroN, D. C., April 20.—[Special Korrespondence of Tue Bek.]—No man in e United States is better posted on news- paper matters than Hon. Whitelaw Reid, who has just returned from his mission to 'rance and who will now leave diplomatio ife to resume the editorship of the New Work Tribune. It is now thirty-six years since Mr. Roid began his newspaper career ms the editor of the Xenis News and it is thirty-two years since he began to be famous s tho war correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Fro been in the thick of journalistic life, and until he accepted the post of minister to ¥rance from President Harrison he had re- fusod all sorts of official offers in the past. President Hayes wanted to make him minis- ter to Germany and Garfleld offered to ap- point him 10 tho same place. He preforred, , bowever, to wield the power and influence of Y the New York Tribune and he thinks there 18 uo position so great as that of editorship of a big newspaper. I met Mr. Reld just aftor his return from France aud had an in- toresting chat with him in his room at the Normandy bhotel about the newspapers snd newspaper men of France. He is a leasant talker and in the half hour's con- ersation which I had with bim be gave mo ;oma interesting facts about the great jour- “How about French statesmen and the newspapers **Many of them are or have been connected with the newspapers,” was the reply. As I have already mentioned, Mr. Hebrard is asen- ator. One of bis daily contributors is one of the very most distinguished Frenchmen now living, Monsieur Jules Simon, a former cabi- ister, and now a senator., Mousieur u mon writes a charming lutle article most every day under the goneral heading ‘Mon Petit’ Journal,’ and that Is one of tho things which can never be skipped. No matter how pressing the work in the sen: or how keen his interest in his own special bills, he almost always finds time to furais this article. Sometimes it touches keen po- litical disputes; at other times it gives an timate of some famous auchor, or a reminis- cence of the politics of a more stormy period, but it is always exquisitoly worded. In fact the style is perfect. Monsieur Simon is a member of the Academy. It was considered a great pieca of good fortune when the gov- erument persuaded him to head the commis- sion sent by I'rance to the labor conforenco callod by tho German emperor in Beriin, whore he was recognized s easily the lead: ing man of the whole conference. and where he made a profound impression upon the em- peror. Another senator azd member of the Academy also, John Lemoinne, has also been one of the most famous leader writers of France, rrlnclpllly on the Journal des Debats. His health has not been good of late years, and Lo 1s mot now writing so much. The flest minister of foreign affairs with whom I was brought in contact was Mr, Spuller, Ho had been for years the bosom friend of Gambetta, and the editor-in-chief of Gawmbeuta’s paper, the Republique Fran- caise. Hois now In the Chamber of Depu- tie: and was until recently one of its vice presidents. He retired from tho cabinat at the downfall of Tirara’s miuistry. ““Tha present editor and propristor of the Republique Francaise is Mounsieur Joseph Reinach, also a deputy and a very able mem- ber of the moderate repuplicau” group, who constitute the strongest element of the yov- ernment's support. He is sun excellent writer and an admirable speaker, *“There is uobody in the Chamber of Dep- uties whom people are more eager to hear than Mousieur Paul de Cassaguac.

These things form an important Frl of their daily journals, and the articles i 1 Y bout them are so well written that it is an tellectual pleasure to read them.

Would it not pay to introduce the feuilleton into American jour- natism I cau’t say,” was the reply. “It is hard to determine what constitute the most at- tractive features of a great newspaper; ul- most impossible sometimes to tell what in- creases and what decreases its circulation. We have publishea a number of good novels in tho Tribune but I haye never noticed any appreciable increase in our sales from them, The people read them and if they are good we hear commendations and if bad the com- plaints come in; but I couldn’t prove that they have really ever affected our circula- tion, By the way, [ met Dana, the editor of the New York Sun, justas I was starting to Washington and had a few mo- ments talk with him. During this he spoke of newspaper novels and told me ho had been buying @ story of W. D. Howels and also ono by Mark Twain. I asked him if he thought they had been profitable ventures and ho said they had pleased the Sun readers, but whether they had pad froma dollar-and- cents, or circulation point of view, he could not say." Syndicate Journalism as a Power, *This b gs up the subject of Lhe ndicate flold in journalism, Mr, Reid. Do you think that syndicate journalism has como to stay and will the productions of noted writers and others continue to bo sold for simultan- eous publication in newspapers in different cities?? *1 don’t think you can tell what will and what will not continue in journalism,” re- plied Mr. Reid, *“There are certainly a num- ber of advantages about tho syndicate meth- ods. Tho enable tho writers to get botter prices for oue thing, and the newspapers, through thom, can get excellent matter 8t much lower rates. The Tribune has patronized some of them, though we prefer, and I think the more prominent of the Now York papers prefer to have exclusive mattor. Asitis We have more matter than we can use and for overy column used at least anovher col- umn of good readlog matter has to bo thrown away in tho make up of evory day's paper. It 1s 8 ques- tion of tho survival of the fittest and the best of the news and the first literary matter gets in. The amount of matter is t00 great, not- withstanding the increaso in the size of the paper. 1used to think when we were pub- lishing ten or twelve pages in our Sunday newspaper that the paper was as big as it would ever got, but we are publishing twenty and thirty pages now and the people seem to likeit. One objection I have to syndicate articles is that they decrease to a certain ex- tent the individuality of a newspaper, ana this 1s, it seems to me, a necessity to its influ- ence und its prosperity.” Should Articles Ise Signed. “Speaking of newspaper individuality, Mr, Reia, how about signing articies in news- papers. Does the use of signatures injure the paper 1n which they appear " “If signatures were general I would say yos. The pmsle et to look upon the newspaper as an individuality ; and when no signatures are used, they rely upon its statements or opinions, in proportion to their general esti- mate of ius character. Whea, on the other hand, fifty names appear at ihe end of fifty pleces of news, or of editorial matter in its columns, the result is confusing and it de- tracts from the newspaper as a whole.' The conversation then turned to tho ilius- trated features of our newspapers. Mr, Reid said that he thought newspaper illustravions might be overdone by the American papors. “Inso far as pictures are associated with news of the day,” seid be, “‘they are & good thing, but I do not believe ia putting pictures in the papers mevely for the sake of having pictures. The methods of fast printing and the quality of paper which a large daily must ‘make 1t impossible to have newspaper ictures works of fine art, but they often udd to the expression of the news and convey bet- s of men than can be given with the pen. @ picture of & new wituess 1o @ sen- sational trial taken by a good artist when he is 1 the act of giving some testimony which is to startle the world next morning, is sure 10 be & good thing to have, or that of a witty after-dinner talker to sccompany the report of a banquet might add to the story, but the use of a picture of & fire so drawn that it might apply as well Lo & fire in New Zealand as to the place in the city where it occurred, is not worth printing. 1 think the novelty of piotures as pictures in newspapers has l0ng since worn off and that they are only val- uahle where they canaid in completing the news: that 18 to say, in completing th® information the reader wants.’ A Million Coples Every Day. “What Parisian paper has the largest cir- culation?’ T asked. *Le Petit Journal has the biggest circula- tion of any daily uowspaper in the world. It prints one million copies .every day. It Roes into everv town in France and is circu- lation outside of Paris is larger than that in the city. Paris is so located that every part of France can be reached by the trains be- fore the death of that day’s paper. Thoe life of adaily newspaper is, you know, ouly a hittle over twelve hours and such an ootside circulation would only be possible in a coun- try like r'rance. It could not be in Araerica, our large citles have not the advantages of Paris in this respect, viz, that this city really has for a reading constituency a nation of thirty odd iillion people, The provincial papers of k'rance, though many of them aro gond, are not equal to the papers of Paris and they do not compete with the Parisian journals as those of our outside citios do with New York. The New York field is confined 1o a comparatively limited territory. When you get to Albany you find first class aailies thero, and the news of Buffalo is apt to be given out almost as fully and in as good shape as in New York. I don’t think wo will ever have a paper of a uational daily ocirculation. La Petit Journal sells for 1 cent, and its profits aro very large. Its chief airector is its founder, M. Marinoni, who began its publi- cation in 1861, Its circulation was first in creased by feuillotons, and in 1864 a singlo novel gave it a jump of from 80,000 to 230,000 within a few weeks. Minimum Price of Nowspapers Keachod. “You say the price of this paper is only 1 cent, Mr. Reid?”’ How about our big nows- papers, will they be cieaper than they are!’ “I think not,” was the reply. ‘‘Almost the cheapest thing that is created by man on this eartn for sale is the newspaper at its prosent price. Three cents s little enough, and I don’t believo the best newspapers will again reduce the prices ‘thoy now charge. We will, of course, have many smaller news- papers and many 1 cent papers, and it 15 nat- ural that the 1 cent newspapers should have a larger circulation since there are always mora men who don't mind spendiog 7 cents & weok than men who don’t mind spending 21 ceuts. “'An interesting thing, by the way, Mr. Reid,” said 1, “is the more rapid increase of newspaper readers than the incrense in population. The cities of{ the same popula- tion take proportionately & mach larger num- ber of newspapers today than formerly, and this proportion is said to be steadily increas ing, What do you think of that" ‘*“T'hat it 1s only another illustration of the old saying that if a nawspaper has any real reason for liviug other néwspapers are not in its way. People will bus~ it for what it is, Then, if & uew paper is #taried they will buy that to read the other' side. Many people now read four, five or mows daily newspapers, where formerly they confined themselves to one; they wish to see all'‘dides, It is & good thing for the newspapers, aud I think it also a good thing for the prevention of nide-bound views aud the promothd of a liveral spirit among the readers aud Chroughout the com- munity at large; of course it is not without some drawbacks. Peo] daon't read so thoroughly, and they are sometimes less in- fluenced even by the best work.”" FraNK G. CARPENTER. —— RELIGIOUS, Onli two congregations of the Armenian church are in this country—one at Worces- ter, Mass., aud the otter st Hoboken. The Methodist Episcopal church has over 15,000 ministers, 14,000 local‘preachers, 100, 000 official members, and 300,000 Sunday school officers and teachers. It 18 an interesting fact that the Univer sity of Glasgow, Scotland, is to confer the degree of Li. D. on the venerable Roman Catholic Arctbisbop Kyre. The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst's single-handed contost with the devilin New York grows more and more {nteresting and its results more and more uncertain as the days go by. The Rev. T. H.

Dr. Herbert Vaughan, who succeeds Cardi- nal Manning as_archbishop of Westminster, 1s one of a family of seven brothers who all became Cutholic priests. Dr. Vaughan was once & member of the crack British Life Guards, and in his bearing he still preserves some of the dash and erectness of the soldier. The American Baptist Year Book, just out, gives the total Baptist membership’ last year 85 8,164,227 The total this year 1s 3,269,506, an ncrease of 105,570. The number reported baptized 1n 1890 was 140,058; 1n 1801, 160,247. The total contributions reported 1n 1591 were $11,215,579; total in 1892, $11,889,558, a slight increase, nov proportioned to the increase in numbers and wealth. In the contributions of this year three states excoed $1,000,000, in the following order: Massachusetts, $1,957, - 403; New York, $1,040,534; Pennsylvania, $1,012,716. The oldest wom an in the country who is a preacher, 1t is thought, is tho Rev. Lydia Sexton of Seattle, now 93 yoars of age. She has been in tho service about Lalf a century. For eight or ten years she was an_exhorter before receiving & rogular license to preach, in 1851. Ohio, Indiana and (llinois wore her field prior to 1870, when with her husband she removed to Kansas, Seattle was adopt- ed as her home three yeursago. She has sinco then conducted many revival weetings, but failing eyesight tnreatens to terminate her activity ere long. She hopes to live to be a full hundred years old.
